Time Passes Quickly

2008-09-14T10:56:00.003+01:00

Many things have changed in the last months.... being open, not open (because of Jessie Mae's constant travel) as well as locati0on and set up.We have gotten a new Barista-in-training, Hilde, and she has been a great help!
Very committed to the world of coffee!

The customers continue to enjoy themselves, and we have had an addition to our menu - we temporarily offer smoothies thanks to Kristin's initiative!

A Great New Addition

We have had a great new addition to our family here! He's bigger, he's better... and he was more expensive!

The joys of creating have returned

and so have the satisfied customers!

Sad days...

2007-10-03T16:19:00.000+01:00

We are in the middle of the great coffee drought. It's a sad time, but most days hope still remains. Closed for almost a month was not the way we planned to spend the autumn... but these things happen.

Currently we are raising money for a new machine, as our old baby has let us down.

A New Home

2007-09-01T09:10:00.001+01:00

We have moved and now have walls, a funky bar ( made of bricks and an old door) and a Koslig atmosphere! Special thanks to Øystein and Beate for their hours of hard work! This wouldn't have been possible without those two (they are also some of our most faithful customers!)

Last night we had the Grand Opening in our new location, and it was a hit!

It was a great time when the DTS returned from outreach! We drank a lot of coffee... these guys know what it is to be passionate about something you've been waiting for! I applaud the courage to try new flavours and a special thanks to all those who request a "Latte Surprise" - I love to experiment!!

Thank you to Ragnhild and all my other assistants! I couldn't make half the coffee without your help! You guys did a great job!

Growing

2007-03-08T18:58:00.000+01:00

We are officially too big for this room now. I have to set up in larger areas, and I think I will very soon be needing additional help. I think this coffee this is catching on!

Ahhh... a thing of beauty!

Back in Business

2007-02-26T19:40:00.000+01:00

Those of us at Jessie Mae's Coffee Bistro would like to sincerely apologize for our temporary closure last week. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of accumulated snow, it took longer than we had hoped to exchange our faulty equipment. We hope that our faithful customers have survived during this setback. Special apologies to Lena-Anette, who came all the way from Hamar and hoped to experience some famous Flekkerøy Coffee!However, we are now pleased to announce that the new machine has arrived,

and we are back in business!

"Let them drink Lattes!"

Grand Opening

2007-02-18T14:43:00.000+01:00

Last night was the official opening of the Coffee Bistro, and I think things went very well! The atmosphere was very laid back, and enjoyable... mellow lights, many candles, soft music. Hmmm.... all you need now is some good company and a wonderful cup of coffee! And we had all of that.

On the menu: Chocolate Chip cookies, Nanaimo bars and Blueberry Muffins!

Some of the drinks we consumed:
- Double Irish Cream Latte
- Raspberry Americano
- Chai Latte
- Macchiato
- Hot Chocolate
- Mocha with Whipped Cream
- Double Raspberry Latte
- Irish Cream & Hazelnut Latte
- Irish Cream Cappuccino

Some of the quotes for the evening were:
“Better than Freaking Larsens & Herligland!”
“Very good coffee, it was very good. Cookies was very good”
“Very cheap, and very good coffee”
“Perfect”
“Very Experimental”
“The best view!”
“Couches are very nice”
“It’s cozy by the fire”
“Owner is very sweet”
“I especially like the candles”
“It’s better than McDonalds”

For me the highlights were seeing how well the bar setup worked. The wonderful variety of drinks ordered! That makes it much more fun to create!
I love the look of the drinks when I have done a good job – and I love handing those beautiful creations to the customers. The thick layer of crema on top of my espresso… the foamed milk sitting beautifully on top of the cappuccino - these were the moments that marked the evening for me.

I admit it… I can be just slightly obsessively passionate about things. So, it’s more studying and practice for this amateur barista! Perfection is.... well, it's perfection!

Practice Makes Perfect

Getting Closer...

2007-02-13T08:06:00.000+01:00

No job will ever be done well without much thought, preparation and effort. So, in this spirit I am obsessively thinking Coffee, day and night! What do I need? What can I create? When can I try some? It's actually quite an addictive thought process! But have no fear... your taste buds will be satisfied in the end!

Coming Soon...

2007-02-11T15:56:00.000+01:00

Official Opening will be Saturday 17 Feb....
